Have you ever ventured outside of the back bedroom in your parents house?
I dread to think what would happen to your poor,frail mind if you discovered we have a serious drug problem in our prison system

Corrected above and unlike many here, I'm not some live at home internet warrior.

Of course we have a drug problem in our prisons. If we allow the behaviour in the video to go on in Portlaoise (the home of Ireland's most serious criminals) then is it any wonder there is an issue with drugs. A prison is not a holiday camp, a hotel or an entertainment centre.

If denial of freedom was the only punishment why not send put them up in a hotel, with access to free alcohol?

The whole prison system is supposed to be a PUNISHMENT and to encourage people not to commit crimes in the future. If it's a place where drugs are available and there's knees up paid for by the taxpayer, it's a better life that these criminals would have outside. Where's the punishment in that?
